Inconfidence:

Anew plot has been discovered in Petrograd.
Intellectuals were participating. Some are professors not very
remote from Osadchy. This has led to a lot of his friends
having their houses searched,and quite right too.

[1]Whenthe Regulations on the Council of Labour and Defence’s
Commission for Utilising the Material Resources of the R.S.F.S.R.
were being drawn up, differences of opinion concerning the
functions of the commission arose between A. B. Khalatov (People’s
Commissar for Food), G. M. Krzhizhanovsky (State Planning
Commission), P. A. Bogdanov (Supreme Economic Council) and
L. N. Kritsman (Commission for Utilising Material Resources).

OnJune 14, 1921, the Council of People’s Commissars endorsed
the amended draft, Regulations drawn up by the State Planning
Commission. On June 29, the Regulations, which on the
instructions of the Council of People’s Commissars had been edited by a
commission composed of Bogdanov, Krzhizhanovsky, Kritsman
and Khalatov, were signed by Lenin.
